PORTS OF CALL

Cape Liberty, NJ (New York, NY)

Your cruise documents will say Cape Liberty, New Jersey, but let's be perfectly honest: the true destination here is New York City. Sailing from this port without dedicating a few days to the city that never sleeps is like visiting a grand library and only reading the table of contents. As your travel advisors, we consider a pre- or post-cruise stay in Manhattan not just an option, but an essential part of the experience. It transforms your vacation from a wonderful sea voyage into an unforgettable land-and-sea journey.

Think of your cruise as the main event and a New York stay as the perfect overture or grand finale. The key is planning, and that begins with the simple logistics of getting from your ship in New Jersey into the heart of Manhattan. A ride-share or pre-booked car service is the most direct route, typically a 30-45 minute journey outside of peak traffic, offering your first thrilling glimpses of the skyline. For those flying in, the port’s proximity to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is a significant convenience, making the transition from air to land seamless.

**Crafting Your New York Itinerary: A Two- or Three-Day Primer**

With a city this vast, the goal isn't to see everything, but to experience the best of it at a pace that energizes rather than exhausts. We recommend focusing on one or two neighborhoods per day.

**Day 1: The Iconic Core & Theatrical Heights**

Start in Midtown, the city’s vibrant, beating heart. This is where you’ll find the landmarks of your imagination. Begin at Rockefeller Center; we prefer the Top of the Rock observation deck over the Empire State Building for its staggered viewing platforms and unparalleled views *of* the Empire State Building itself. From there, it’s a short walk to the magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral and the architectural splendor of Grand Central Terminal—be sure to look up at the celestial ceiling.

Yes, you must see Times Square, but our advice is to treat it like a force of nature: witness its dazzling, chaotic energy for fifteen minutes, then strategically retreat. As evening approaches, the Theater District comes alive. A pre-theater dinner in Hell’s Kitchen offers a world of culinary options, from authentic Thai to rustic Italian, just steps from Broadway. Securing tickets to a show in advance is always wise, but for the spontaneous, the TKTS booth in Times Square offers same-day discounts. Seeing a Broadway production is a quintessential New York experience that never fails to deliver.

**Day 2: History, Remembrance, and Neighborhood Charm**

Head downtown to immerse yourself in the city’s history. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is a profoundly moving and essential experience. We strongly advise booking timed-entry tickets online well in advance. The quiet reverence of the memorial pools, set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, is a powerful moment of reflection. Nearby, One World Observatory provides a breathtaking, panoramic perspective of the city and its waterways.

From there, explore the Financial District’s narrow streets, walking past the New York Stock Exchange and Trinity Church. Then, shift gears by wandering into the West Village. This is a different New York entirely—a charming labyrinth of brownstones, leafy streets, and unique boutiques. Sit by the fountain in Washington Square Park, watch the chess players, and soak in the neighborhood’s bohemian spirit. For dinner, the Village offers an abundance of intimate, high-quality restaurants perfect for recounting the day's discoveries.

**Day 3: Art, Nature, and a Bridge with a View**

Dedicate your final day to the intersection of culture and nature. Head to the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a world unto itself; our strategy is to pick two or three exhibits that genuinely interest you—perhaps the Egyptian Temple of Dendur or the European Paintings—and explore them deeply rather than attempting a marathon. For modern art lovers, the Guggenheim’s iconic spiral building is as much a masterpiece as the collection within.

In the afternoon, escape into the curated wilderness of Central Park. Rent a rowboat on The Lake, stroll through the literary walk at The Mall, or find a quiet bench in the Shakespeare Garden. The park is the city’s collective backyard, a perfect place to decompress. For a truly memorable final act, take the subway to Brooklyn. Walk back towards Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge as the sun begins to set. The view of the skyline lighting up is, without exaggeration, one of the greatest cityscapes in the world and the perfect image to carry with you as you begin or end your cruise.

By investing a few days, you’re not just adding a city to your trip; you’re giving yourself the gift of context, culture, and energy that will enrich your entire vacation. It’s the savvy way to travel, and it ensures you get the absolute most out of your well-deserved time away.

At Sea - Cruising

Port Canaveral, Florida

Port Canaveral is the gateway to Florida's "Space Coast," a region where monumental human achievement meets serene natural wonder. The primary draw is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, an essential experience for any inquisitive mind. Here, you can stand in the presence of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, marvel at the sheer scale of a Saturn V rocket, and gain a profound appreciation for the scientific dedication that propelled humanity beyond Earth's atmosphere. It is an intellectually stimulating day that perfectly balances education with awe.

Beyond the launchpads, the region offers a tranquil escape. The Canaveral National Seashore provides miles of pristine, undeveloped coastline—a perfect setting for a quiet walk or simply relaxing by the Atlantic. For a more immersive encounter with the local ecosystem, consider a kayaking excursion through the Banana River Lagoon, where you may glide past gentle manatees and wading birds in their natural habitat. The adjacent Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for hundreds of species, offering a peaceful counterpoint to a demanding professional life.

While the world-famous attractions of Orlando are just an hour's drive, the area offers more than theme parks. Discover the sophisticated charm of Winter Park, with its upscale boutiques and cafes along Park Avenue, or admire the world's most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's works at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. For a more local flavor, historic Cocoa Village presents a walkable district of quaint shops, art galleries, and riverside dining, capturing the relaxed essence of “Old Florida.”

Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau is a bustling hub, and your best day here requires a plan to navigate beyond the immediate, often-crowded port area. While it has its share of tourist traps, genuine Bahamian character is well within reach for those who know where to look.

For a dose of history, a short walk leads to the Queen's Staircase, a remarkable 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by enslaved people in the 18th century. It ascends to Fort Fincastle, which offers commanding views of the island. For a more refined local taste, the John Watling's Distillery on the historic Buena Vista Estate offers tours and tastings in a setting far removed from the downtown hustle.

If a classic beach day is your priority, we advise looking beyond the nearest options. A taxi to the quieter sands of Cable Beach or, for a more curated experience, a day pass to one of the major resorts on Paradise Island will provide the tranquil, turquoise-water escape you envision. These passes grant access to pristine private beaches and high-quality amenities, turning a potentially hectic port day into a truly relaxing one.

For the most authentic local flavor, take a taxi to Arawak Cay (known as 'The Fish Fry'). This is where Bahamians go for fresh conch salad, fried snapper, and a vibrant, casual atmosphere. It’s a world away from the port-side buffets and offers a true taste of the islands.

Coco Cay, Bahamas

Let's be clear: Coco Cay is not a port for cultural immersion; it's a private island meticulously engineered for a perfect day of sun and fun. Think of it as a high-end water park and beach club rolled into one, accessible right off the ship. The island is divided into distinct zones, from the high-energy Thrill Waterpark with its impressive slides to the sprawling Oasis Lagoon, one of the largest freshwater pools in the Caribbean.

For those seeking relaxation, several white-sand beaches offer a classic tropical escape. If you're looking for a more exclusive, serene experience, the Coco Beach Club provides a quieter atmosphere with an infinity pool and overwater cabanas, available for an additional fee. While you won't find local markets or historical sites here, Coco Cay delivers exactly what it promises: a seamless, high-quality day of resort-style leisure and aquatic adventure.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
